Northern Ireland + Republic of Ireland

Ireland is such a cool place, and so incredibly beautiful. I loved Ireland for the same reason I love the Pacific North West so much, it's lush and green. But besides being beautiful to look at, Ireland has such an amazing history that isn't even that old. It wasn't until I explored the streets of Belfast that I really began to learn about the unrest that occurred and why exactly Ireland is split into two different countries now. Ireland is also where I began to start feeling better, and so as my energy came back I spent my days spending time and exploring with one of my favourite people. I would go back in a heartbeat, the people are so kind and there's such an amazing music culture that you just can't find anywhere else in the world.
